ANOTHER PILL FOR J. 3.

This jubilee year promises TO be not
monarchy across the herring pond. Torn
by internal discussions concerning the
wisest policy 10 Irish affairs; confronted
by all Europe In her designs on Egypt
and compelled to reinquish her hold up
on the revenues of that country: antag-
ODizsd by Russia in her possessions in
the far east; and her supremacy in sew
eral of the oceanic Islands being dispu-
ted, one would naturally suppose that
she had enough to keep the currents of
her diplomatic and parliamentary life in
lively exercise. OF late another disquiet-
ing element has been introduced into
the councils of her statesmen. Little
Newfoundland, that diminutive mara
time province at the mouth of the st.
Lawrence, asserts her independence of
British imperial control in the matter
Other fisheries, and puts her foot down
emphatically on that subject. New
fOundland, dependant as she is upon her
fisheries for the maintenance of her
population, and these fisheries she does
not propose tose handicapped or ham
pered by imperial legislation. The New
fOundlanders assert that the rights of
their colony over their oostal fisheries
and territory has been sOlemnly recog-
niZed by the imperial government and
cannot be aleniated without their
consent. This consent has been
asked for the admission of French yes
sells to the right TO purchase bait. and
this right the wfoundland legislature
refuses to grant. John Bull can put this
refusal in his pocket and finger it over
at his leisure. The sturdy independence
of those islanders is breathed in every
assertion Of the report which forms a
part Of this refusal and sets forth the
reasons therefor. The determination
not 70 surrender Their rights without a
just equivalent,.and the pointed refer
ence to the immense bonus granted by
the French government to French fish
erman, are the two features Of this re-
port. While adding TO the perplexities
OF the English government in lite ad-
justments of fisheries relations with
France, 1t suggests a method of arrang-
ing our own fisheries matters direct with
Newfoundland. If that country is
ready to sell, or cOncede her bait p1iyi-
leges for an equivalent, why would it not
be worth while for this government to
enquire whether such an equivalent
could not be found In system of COM
mercial exchanges that would be very
acceptable to Newfoundland. The mat
ter is certainly worth consideration. The
inhabitants of that section are more like
our own "dOwn.easters," than any 9TH
er OF the Canadian provinces, and COM
mercial exchanges might be found alike
profitable to them and US, as they man
nfacture little, and could be supplied
from our marts more chesply than from
Canadian centers.

Old Days In Maine.

The glorious old days OF ''Lady

terry, are recalled. She maintained hei
noble establishment in baronial style.
The island was connected with tho
shore by a draw-bridge which was rails.
ed every night and lowered in tn
morning. Thirty cows and several
hundred sheep were cared for by .
large number of r%etainers. The house
was so spacious that sixty GUESTS could
be entertained in one room. A domes-
tic chaplain performed prayers every
morning. A steward and butler had
charge of the servants. A me morable
entertainment was given on an ami
versary of Madame Cults birthday.
The madame wore Il black damask
gown, n lace cape and hood, white and
silver stomacher, cuffs with double lace
%rufiles, velvet shoes and blue silk stock
ings. The most prominent guest was
old General Atkinson in a royal suit OF
crimson velvet. At one end of the i'm
mense dining hall was n barbecue,
while boiled chickens. hams and ton
gucs were laid ut the other. In the cen
ter were n great silver tub filled with
pancakes and n capacious bowl OF
punch, in which all the ladies dipped.

that she didn't see anything funny in
it, but told it as something very supe.

cietv in New York immensely if il
were tried here. She says the femin-
inc nineteenths of Boston society were
in great despair because everything
they started, all their clubs and socie-
ties and everything, were so over
whelming feminine. Even il they
started out with Il fair proportion-for
B~oston--of masculine members, these
o either dropped out or were over
whelmed and lost in the prevailing
mass of skirts. So they determined on
heroic measures. They organ zed a
Browning Club, and they decreed that
no woman should be admitted unless
she brought a man member into the
club, too. And. to make sure that the
masculine n OF the establishment
would be kept mp. they also decreed
that if any lady came without n gentle
man to two successive meetings her
name should be summarily struck from
the roll of membership. The fair
maidens of Commonwealth avenue and
Beacon street have been having a
wofully hard time getting into that club
and staying there after they once got
in. My informant naively said that
they were all just crazy to 10 n, but
that men really seem scarcer and
buster than ever. "Why," she OK
claimed. 'if You just say Browning to

Death of an Old Warrior.

AugustThum, one of the staunchGer-
man republicans of New York, died
February 2. He was born at Mayence,
on the Rhine, in 1902, and at the age of
16 joined the Bavarian cuirassiers. He
served his time and was mustered out.
In 1874 he came to America, and was
connected with the Liverpool and
London and Globe and the Germania
Companies. August Thum, Frederick
FIaccus Peter Cook and others in 1915
organized the German Republican
Association of the Seventeenth Ward.
The association is still in hourishing
condition, and Coroner EIdman is the
present chairman. Thum, when the
war broke out, assisted in organizing
the 9Th Regiment of New York Volun-
teers (Blenker Rjfles.) The other officers
were inclined to think that Mr.. Thum's
81 years was greater burden than
soldier should carry into active service:
but Dr.. Valentine Mott, after an exami-
nation, declared that the ex cuirassier
was probably better fitted to bear the
laugues OF the campaign than the
majority of the young men of the regi-
ment. Accordingly, Mr.. Thum became
captain OF Company Il. In 1862, at the
battle OF Cross Keys, he was wounded,
and was obliged to resign his commits

positively that. in eleven cases, two
males and nine females, the evidence
left no doubt that these old people
were really centennarians. In the
large majority of the cases the evil
dence was not conclusive, but there
can at least be no doubt that sll had
attained to very great age. Swift, in
his Voyage to Laputa," has given a
description of extreme old age SO ap-
pahing, and yet so nearly in accord
ance with eV ~ day experience that it
is a pleasure to find Prof. Humphry
championlng our common humanity
and describing centenarians who are
cheerful, retained their faculties and
their interest in relatives and old
frierds, and even show a marked Xix
ing for making new acquaintance.
The centenarian generally comes from
a long lived family, and is q person of
active habits, both of body and mind, a
good sleeper, endowed with a good
appetite and tranquil, cheerful dispo-
sition. One centeDarian collier had
always drank as much as he could, and
expressed his intention of continuing
this habit, but all the others were stated
tither to have been moderate or very
moderate III the indulgence of this taste
or to have beer total abstainers, The
majority also did not take Tobacco in
any form, but one chewed the drug and
seven, of whom four we're women,
smoked great deal. Perhaps the most
interesting fact which has come out of
the ANALYSIS OF these cases is that,
though centSnarians, as a rule, have
not suffered much from illness during
their long lives, yet considerable num-
of instances were met with where even
severe illness had been recovered from
at an advanced age. Indeed, some of
these old pur>o seem TO take a new
lease of llfe, as the saying is, after pass
ing fours co c years, and are not only
able to resist fresh attacks of active
but even apparently to throw
off some of the effects of chronic
msladIes from which they had been
previously suffering. II Is interesting
to note that women are in decided
maj rity in Pref. Humphreys list; after
making every allowance for the COM
parative immunity from accident,
exposure and anxiety, and their greater
i'll eating and drinking,
thee still appears to be reason to-
b. lieve that woman possesses a greater
inherent vitality than man. In con-
clusion we may be allowed to express
the hope that Prof. Humphry may live
to swell the list and improve the male
percentage.-British Medical Journal.
